Stayed for 4 days over spring break with 2 teenage boys. The pool was too chilly for swimming, but the spa & grounds were amazing. The boys loved scrambling the rocks & exploring the property. The spa & fire pit were great nighttime activities under the desert stars. The home is clean & well stocked. The owner is very responsive. Location was great. 100% would recommend.

Came with my family for our first visit to Joshua Tree, and this was the perfect home for our trip. Great location close to park entrances, and my kids all loved exploring the rocks and cave in the backyard. The pool and hot tub were clean and helped us relax after our mornings hiking in the sunshine. Definitely recommend and hope to return someday!

Easily one of the most unique, well situated properties we have stayed at. Beautiful location with a backyard that you have to see to believe! Take a hike right up the boulders in the back yard and then relax in the hot top and pool with amazing views. The house is eclectic and we LOVED it... Dale, the property owner provided an excellent tour of the property at check-in and shared wonderful stories along the way... house is older, but is well equipped and has everything you need for a great stay! Easy access to Joshua Tree, 29 Palms, and both the West and North enterances to Joshua Tree National Park!

If you're a nature lover like us, this property cant be topped! Epic caves, abundant wildlife, and many varieties of cacti are just steps away from the refreshing pool. The house is basic but well appointed - this is all about the location. Definitely the coolest VRBO I have ever stayed in. Dale is very friendly and accommodating as well, highly recommended.

This was a special trip for me and my two girls. After a long struggle with Long Covid, my older daughter is finally doing much better, and we wanted to celebrate.Joshua Tree Retreat was a wonderful place to escape to. The three‑bedroom home, filled with unique artwork, books, and colorful walls, felt truly special—definitely not your everyday VRBO. Dale’s stories about the history behind the artwork and books made exploring them even more meaningful. The numerous outdoor sitting areas, the hot tub, and the unbelievably beautiful pool offered peaceful places to relax and spend time together. Even working outdoors felt like a reprieve. And how refreshing to stay in a VRBO with a well‑stocked kitchen and quality cookware.The retreat is a short distance from both the North and West entrances to the park, making it easy to explore early and late in the day to avoid the heat. The Barker Dam and Hidden Valley hikes are great for everyone, but for me, seeing my daughter able to enjoy them again was incredibly gratifying. A sunset stroll inside the nearby park boundary—something Dale can give directions for—was also wonderful.Dale was kind enough to extend a late checkout for us, which allowed us to enjoy the morning, soak our feet in the pool, and then transition easily to meeting family later in the day in Palm Springs. We truly appreciated his understanding and the extra care.

We’ve stayed at some pretty nice vacation houses, but this place takes the cake. It’s set right on the border of Joshua Tree National Park, with no close neighbors and our back yard looks like a park itself. I basically chose this location after seeing the pictures of the pool surrounded by massive rocks. The owner Dale gave us a great tour when we arrived showing us all the history, artwork and personal artifacts that decorate the house. Definitely not your average white washed vacation rental. He really put his heart and soul into this place. Every room is full of character, painted in tones of orange and plum with baroque decor. Definitely the perfect place to relax and recharge.

This was an exceptional stay from start to finish. The location is absolutely perfect, with gorgeous views and easy access to incredible hiking right among the boulders. It truly feels you are immersed in the Joshua Tree landscape. The house is very comfortable and exceptionally well stocked with everything we needed. The jacuzzi was awesome, asd enjoyed a glass of red wine on the patio while soaking in the peaceful surroundings. We also loved being able to walk down the road to Mas o Menos for cocktails and tacos, which was such a fun bonus. Dale was a charming and incredibly informative host, and his vast library was a wonderful touch that made the home feel even more special. Every detail made this a memorable experience, and we can’t wait to return and enjoy the amazing pool next time.

The location of this property was perfect. You are close to the popular West entrance of Joshua Tree National Park as well as the North entrance to the park and this allows you relatively quick access to two different areas. The property was beautiful, it sits right up against the desert boulders and is very quiet, making for wonderfully peaceful and relaxing evenings. Great for stargazing as well. The host provides a very detailed orientation to the property and the home is well stocked with all the essentials.

This was a wonderful place for us to spend four nights. We were two adult couples who came to visit Joshua Tree NP. Dale has a wonderful property and it is clear that he is very proud of what he has created. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen well appointed, and the whole place was clean. It is a very private area located close to the park. The rocks behind the place are great for exploring. It’s located about 10-15 minutes from town which is nice for privacy and quiet. The hot tub was a wonderful treat after a long day of hiking too.I really have nothing but good things to say about the property. We hope to return soon!

What can I say? Dale's property was amazing and honestly one of my top 3 favorite renatls I've ever stayed in (and we travel a lot)! He was such a wonderful host and we loved learning about all of the rich history and meaning behind the home and its details. We felt so comfortable and relaxed here all week that it was especially difficult to pack up and leave when it was time to return home. From the incredible "backyard" boulder cilmbs to stargazing in the hot tub after a long day hiking in the park, this place was everything we needed and more. The pool is so thoughtfully designed that it was such a treat to see the sky's reflection pictured inside of it. We had a fire every night, slept comfortably, and enjoyed exploring the grounds. The location is great, the property is peaceful and private, and Dale is a charming bonus! :) He also gave us a walking tour of his newest home design that is currently being constructed. It took our breath away! I was so impressed by every thoughtful detail, and I truly feel lucky to have gotten to see it before the inside walls were even built. I'm already anxious to take the next tour when everything is complete! This will be another unique desert treasure thanks to Dale. We will absolutely be back! Thank you again for sharing your home and heart with us!

We had a wonderful, restorative, and peaceful stay at Villa Dei Fiore! We wanted to get out of LA before our son went back to school and this was the perfect respite. The home is private and abuts Joshua Tree National Park. We saw so many animals and the rocks and flora were amazing.The pool is magical and we spent most of our time there watching birds fly by and lizards crawl on the rocks, while escaping the heat. The grounds are covered with rosemary and cypress, and floating in the pool smelling those heat scented plants is such an amazing memory. The interior of the house is full of really cool books on just about every subject you can think of. The cooling system in the house is great and we felt really and comfortable despite the summer heat. The hot tub is clean and set up against a wonderful desert backdrop and there’s a grill and full kitchen for use.Dale is a wonderful host who takes great pride of ownership. I loved hearing about his family’s history at the property and he took us on a tour to show us how everything works. He did a great job of checking in to ensure we were comfortable without being intrusive. He was very accommodating to my 6 year old son. We had a wonderful time and hope to come back for another trip!
